Beaver Lake

Beaver Lake comes in at a B on the grading rubric — a respectable showing for a Wisconsin lake of its size and depth.

A TSI near 47 places Beaver Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. Beaver Lake reaches 17 ft at its deepest point — typical for Wisconsin mid-sized lakes, with seasonal stratification but limited cold-water refuge. At 17 acres, Beaver Lake sits below the Wisconsin median: a small water where shoreline activity has an outsized effect on water quality. Among the 15 graded lakes in Chippewa County, Beaver Lake sits at rank 6, above the county median.

No invasive species are currently listed at Beaver Lake — the lake remains off the Wisconsin infested-waters roster. The fishery is bass-led, with 2 documented species across the lake's records. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
